SaveMyLand56: A cooked meal at home sounds far more stress free and much better tasting.======================================================

EVERY woman, mom and homemaker deserves a chance to get away from the stove and go out to eat. A woman doesn't need to keep her feet planted in front of her stove cooking. I am not sure where you are eating, but there are excellent restaurants than rival and in some cases very much out-do the typical home cook's meals.

Thanks for your continued information about restaurants. You doing Dennis Getto proud.

I work in a food processing plant. Recently they removed all the peanut containing items from the lunchroom vending machines due to a request made by a private food safety inspector. They said that they feared that someone would somehow get a speck of peanut on their clothing during their lunch break and pass it on into the finished product that we make. They also "recommend" that we not bring any peanut containing foods with us in our lunches. I can't wait until they tell us that all food products containing bread have to be banned from our lunchroom.

Tres Locos in Muskego has had a huge gluten free menu for over 5 years. they even encourage customers to bring in their own chips due to possible cross contamination from deap frying flour tortillas for other dishes as well.

The Junge's need to check ingredients more throughly, McDonald's french fries have wheat in them. Wheat contains gluten. Been gluten free for 9 months due to an intolerance... Good thing I love mexican food (minus the flour tortillas)! Good luck gf people!

Burke's Lakeside Restaurant in Summit has gluten free fish fries! They are very knowledgeable about cross contamination and their food is fantastic.

I was amazed by the comment above complaining about restrictions in the lunch room. My son has a life threatening peanut allergy and I have celiac. I can't comprehend what a blessing it would be to only have to worry about food restrictions during my lunch hour at work. It's impossible to grasp what it's like to live in constant fear unless it's you, or your child's, life at stake. I'm so grateful the food processing plant referred to above takes every precaution to prevent accidental exposure to peanut protein. It's a very scary world when you need to worry about food causing you or your loved ones severe harm or even death. And not just at lunchtime.
